Chapter 444: A Family of Craftsmen
Bai Jiu listened to it for a long time, feeling that the rules didn't seem to be very clear.
"Why are we pushing this cart?" She asked, a little puzzled, "Didn't you say we could just go back and forth on our own?" ā
"Of course not." "You don't look like any kind of cultured person, I'm afraid I'm the only one who has read through the Three Kingdoms." ā
"Nope." Yun Nineteen shook his head, "I'm afraid we've all read it, what do you want to say?" ā
After hearing this, Qiao Jiajin consciously took a step back to the side.
Yes, he probably hasn't read it.
"Oh?" Dima stroked his mane with some contempt, "Have you all read it?" That's really unseemly, so how did you tell me about the "wooden ox and flowing horse"? ā
Yun Jiujiu replied almost without hesitation: "The wooden ox and flowing horse should be a means of transportation invented by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, which is divided into wooden oxen and flowing horses. It was used by Zhuge Liang during the Northern Expedition from the ninth to the twelfth year of Jianxing. ā
Bai Jiu also smiled and said: "According to legend, the carrying capacity of the wooden ox and flowing horse is "one-year-old grain", about 400 catties or more, and the daily itinerary is "dozens of miles for special travelers and thirty miles in groups", transporting grain for the 100,000 army of Shu Han. ā
Dima really didn't expect that these people who were dressed so casually were actually quite knowledgeable as soon as they opened their mouths, so they could only nod in surprise.
At this time, a tall girl also spoke: "Although the name of your game is "Wooden Cow Flowing Horse", in fact, no one knows the true style and appearance of Wooden Cow Flowing Horse, and many literature explains it differently. Some say it's just an ordinary wheelbarrow, while others say it's a wooden structure in the shape of a cow and a horse. ā
Qiao Jiajin looked at this very tall girl, if I remember correctly, her name was Feng Seventeen.
"I didn't expect that." Ground Horse turned his head to look at the crowd, "You are quite knowledgeable...... But so what? ā
"What......?"
"This knowledge is just words to you......" Ground Horse stroked the wooden cart beside him with some amazement, "Even if there are craftsmen who meditate on restoring these lost things, you will only say that no one in this world has ever seen them, so the restoration is also false." ā
Qiao Jiajin scratched his head a little dazedly: "IāI don't quite understand what you mean...... Is it wrong for someone else to say it? Isn't the thing imitated by later generations fake? ā
"Of course what they said was wrong." "The meaning of the existence of our carpentry family is to restore these lost precision woodwork, but often no one understands it in their lifetime......
After hearing this, Qiao Jiajin looked at the wooden boxes placed on both sides of the runway, since they are "carpentry families", are those wooden boxes also made by this ground horse himself?
"I still don't understand." Qiao Jiajin said, "I also know a lot of carpentry families...... But aren't you a little extreme? ā
"Extreme?"
"What kind of cow and horse is this...... Qiao Jiajin patted the trolley on the side, "Does it mean anything to you?" ā
"No, I did...... I just want to reproduce these lost things, they are part of the brilliant history that has been dissipated in the long river of time. ā
"What's the point?" Qiao Jiajin asked.
"Meaning?"
"After listening to your introduction just now, I feel that this thing has helped Zhuge Liang, which means that he should be a transportation device, right?"
"Yes." Dima nodded, "The wooden ox and flowing horse are recorded in many ancient books, and it is the cart used by Zhuge Liang to transport grain and grass in the mountains. ā
"Then he should mean a lot to Zhuge Liang, not you." Qiao Jiajin said, "Do you dedicate your life to this kind of thing?" Does Zhuge Liang agree to this matter? ā
"Ah......?"
"I'm probably too talkative." Qiao Jiajin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I just hope that you can do something happier when you have time, instead of this kind of thing." ā
"You ......" Jima sighed, not knowing why he would say so much to this annoying man with flowers, so he could only sigh and say, "You don't have to please me before you start the game, I have nothing to be happy about except for my own obsessions, if you can't win this game, you will die worse than anywhere else." ā
"Is it that difficult?" Qiao Jiajin said, "As long as we can each person push the cart for a round trip, we can complete the game, right?" ā
"No," the pony shook his head, "because the original concept ......of the wooden ox flowing horse was to 'transport'...... So it doesn't make a difference for you to pass through the runway yourself......"
"Huh?" Qiao Jiajin suddenly couldn't understand, "You wait a minute...... Didn't you just say that as long as everyone can make one round trip on the runway, you can win the game? ā
"Yes, but that's not the full rule." Dima laughed and said, "The seven people can only pass the test if they all take a round trip on the wooden ox and flowing horse." ā
"I lost?!" Qiao Jiajin was stunned for a moment, "You fan...... What the hell are you talking about? Doesn't it count if we run barefoot on the ground? ā
"It doesn't count." Jima shook his head, "I'll be watching the whole process, and all seven of you will have to sit on the Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse once, and you will be sanctioned if you cheat." ā
"This is really difficult...... Qiao Jiajin lowered his head and looked back at a few teammates behind him, as if waiting for their ideas.
Although Qi Xia was not there, Qiao Jiajin had a group of "cerebellum" after all.
"You ...... How so? ā
"That...... Brother Qiao, come with me. Bai Jiu reached out and tugged at his clothes.
Qiao Jiajin nodded and retreated to the corner with everyone.
"Do you have an idea?"
"It's almost ......," Bai Jiu nodded, "Although this game is a racing game, it still looks like it needs some cooperation." ā
Yun Nineteen also nodded: "That's right, the ground horse only counts the people sitting on the "Wooden Ox Flowing Horse", but it doesn't say the people on the runway......"
"Looks like Nineteen thinks the same way." Bai Jiu nodded, "We can attack with all our hands in every round." ā
"All ......?"
"There are seven of us." Bai Jiu explained, "Only one person needs to sit on the chair in each round, and then three people are sent on the left and right sides to keep the trolley stable, which will greatly increase the time it takes us to cross the runway. ā
"Is that so?" Qiao Jiajin frowned and scratched his hair, feeling that something was not quite right, "Have you ever walked hand in hand on the ice?" ā
"Uh...... There is no ......" everyone shook their heads.
"Neither do I." Qiao Jiajin said, "But I can roughly guess...... Although there is a probability to ensure the stability of all members, there is also a probability that the whole body will be affected by one shot, once one person falls, the rest of the people will have difficulty mastering their balance, and even those sitting on the "wooden ox flowing horse" will fall down. ā
"Indeed...... There is indeed a possibility ......," Bai Jiu nodded.
"Have you ever played that kind of game on your team......?" Qiao Jiajin asked, "The same kind of hands and feet?" ā
(Brothers and sisters, there is still a week left in the "Recommend Treasure Novel Activity" that is coming to an end, as long as you recommend "Ten Days to the End" on Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and book shortage platforms, you will have a chance to get a physical book signed by yourself, and readers who have not yet taken action should hurry up.) ļ¼
